The list also includes the 13 German universities of technology which have official and full university status, but w usually focus on engineering and the natural sciences rather than covering the whole spectrum of academic disciplines. Nearly about 17 German universities rank among top 250 universities in world[1]

This is a list of the ten oldest universities that have been in continuous operation since their founding in present-day Germany.

Some universities were established in the 14th or 15th centuries, but shut down for longer periods and later re-opened (e.g. the universities of Cologne, Erfurt, Ingolstadt, Mainz and Würzburg). These are not included in this list.
